Elizabeth McGovern

Where is she now? Where is she now?

And so it's Elizabeth McGovern.

Yes, and thank goodness for that-

Yeah

... 'cause I love Elizabeth McGovern, but Gillian Anderson.

Great to see her back.

I only know her from that and Once Upon a Time in America.

[laughs] That's the only two things I know Elizabeth McGovern from.

Good points, yeah.

And this movie was very popular movie, nominated for eight Academy Awards, including for Elizabeth McGovern, who played, uh, Evelyn Nesbit.

Right.

But it didn't get Best Picture, and surprisingly, Cagney was not nominated for Best Supporting Actor-

Am I correct?

Woodard was in Cross Creek with Mary Steenburgen, who was in Ragtime with Elizabeth McGovern, who was one of Warren Beatty's conquests in the '80s.

I remember Elizabeth McGovern.

That was, uh, you know.

She was like...

Ah! [rock music] Hello, and welcome to another episode of Not the Bees, the Nicolas Cage filmography podcast.

I'm Elizabeth.

And I'm Megs.

And this week we watched 1984's Racing with the Moon.

It stars Nic Cage, Sean Penn, and Elizabeth McGovern, and it has a 67% on Rotten Tomatoes.

In the 1940s Mendocino County, Henry Hopper Nash, played by Sean Penn, is a small-town boy who has been drafted into the US Marine Corps and is about to serve overseas.

He is close friends with Nicky, played by Nicolas Cage, who's also about to be deployed.

They have approximately six weeks before shipping out.

Uh, I'm typically a fan of, uh, Walter Hill, so I'm sure I probably would enjoy this.

Mickey Rourke, Lance Henriksen, Ellen Barkin, Elizabeth McGovern, Forest Whitaker, Morgan Freeman, good cast there.

Johnny Handsome in 4K Ultra HD from Kino Lorber Studio Classics.

And Angel's Egg is a film that I'm not really familiar with, one of the G Kids releases, uh, courtesy of, uh, Shout! Factory.

And I have been hugely excited about this production, about the notion of this casting combination, but also the return of the play itself to London, one that I have seen now three different times.

I saw the Ustinov Studio revival in Bath with Elizabeth McGovern and Dougray Scott.

I also saw the most recent West End revival starring Imelda Staunton and Conleth Hale.

and for a time in my teenage years, I ranked the screen adaptation starring Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton as one of my all-time favorite films right up there alongside Disney's The Emperor's New Groove.

Jim Carter is the name of the butler.

Elizabeth McGovern was on our show.

Don't you remember?

Yes.

There are, and there's even – if you want to go deeper in the Kevin Bacon rabbit hole, when – and I don't know if I mentioned this later on, but when he's at the airport later on the phone to his wife, Kevin Baker made a movie called She's Having a Baby, I think with Elizabeth McGovern.

Right.

That's another John Hughes film.
